A second federal judge in two days has blocked US President Donald Trump's effort to end birthright citizenship for the children of parents who are in the US illegally, decrying what he described as the administration's attempt to ignore the country's Constitution for political gain.
US District Judge John C. Coughenour in Seattle on Thursday (Friday AEDT) put Trump's order on hold for the duration of a lawsuit brought by four states and an immigrant rights group challenging it.
His ruling followed one by a federal judge in Maryland in a separate but similar case involving immigrants' rights groups and pregnant women whose soon-to-born children could be affected.
